THE PARIS PETIT JOURNAL"

A Daily Circulation Nearly Reaching
1000, ,OO0-A Remarkable Growth.
The success Of The Petit journal has
always tempted imitators, but thus far
Its numerous competitors have not sue
ceeded in injuring it. On the contrary,
its circulation steadily increases, and has
now reached the colossal average of 950,-
900. Strangers are sometimes astonished
at the remarkable growth of this little
paper-the size of its page is Is by 21-
and in any other country it would be a
wonder; but ! doubt if a newspaper
modelled after The Petit Journal could OBJ
tain such wide reading public else
where. Certainly it would not do so in
America, where the people want news
or what they think is news-and a good
deal OF it.
Now the idea Of what constitutes news
is very different in France from what it is
i'm the United States. Here newspaper
must first OF all give one or more serial
stories every day; in the absence of this
feature il would not sell 100 copies. The
Matin, which was started by American
capital, tried 10 win circulation without
printing a story; its founders thought the
displayed headline was what the French
reader craved, but they soon discovered
their error, and the journals success
dates from the day its conductors con-
formed TO the French idea.
The story, or feuilleton. is mainly what
has made the fortune of The Petit Jour-
nal. and enabled it TO pay not only the
highest price for "blood and thunder"
tales, but to spend from $50, 900 to $780,
600 In advertising in advance each new
story by Richebourg, Montepin, Sauniere,
Bo,sgobey, ETC., who are the French Syl-
vsnus Cobbs. When say that a Petit
Journal could not reach such a fabulous
circulation in America mean that it's
story feature alone would not lie suffi-
cient, because the taste for fiction in the
American daily newspaper is Of compara-
lively recent date. Besides, the American
wants news first and fiction afterwards,
knowing, perhaps, that he gets good
deal of the latter with the former.
The Petit Journal is very well edited
paper for q country where the masses are
still uneducated, or at least not educated
~ TO the point of wishing 10 know every
thing that goes on all over the world.
They are content TO take their news by
- thimbIeful and do not complain II II

Sick Man I'm q Hotel.

Some of the experiences Of commercial
travellers are unpleasant, although they
are generally supposed to have the best
of everything that is going. p. L. Dove,
who is well known among travellers, re-
Gently said that of all the bitter expert
ences he had ever encountered, the worst
was to be taken sick away from home at
q hotel. The man who is taken i'll un-
der such conditions" said Mr.. Dove,
"cannot expect any attention from un-
selfish motives. He will find that he is
obliged to give heavy tips to the porters,
walters, chambermaids and bell boys for
whatever he wants done. The sick man
in the hotel is considered an easy and
legitimate prey. Everybody can pluck
him, and everybody does pluck him, even
to the physician, who oftentimes divides
his fees with the men in the office.
"Not long ago / was taken sick at q
hotel in Boston, and asked to have a
physician sent up to my room. He called
and made up prescription. asked his
price for the visit and offered to pay him,
but he said to me that it was all right, as
he had no charge to make. It struck me
that l had discovered humanitarian in

THE supreme court Of the United

holds that the legislation by . state

fringe any right, privilege or immuni.
ty secured by the constitution of the

laws of Kansas might fail IL the right
OF each citizen to manufacture intoxi-
eating liquors for his own use as bev.
erage were recognized. Such q right

GOV. BROWNS ARGUMENT.
He Denies the Governors Right to
Forfeit His Leases.


Forfeit His Leases.
ATLANTA, GA, Oct. There was only
one session Of the Governors Court to-day.
Senator Brown finished his argument, which
was entered upon yesterday afternoon. He
took the position that five executives preced-
ing Gov Gordon had confirmed the system of
camps and distribution Of convicts among
the leesses, and that the Legislature had
legalized the custom by passing laws with
provisions relating to convict camps, when
there were twelve or fifteen camps in the
State. He made the further argument,
and raised the point that the guards are
appOintees and agents of the State.
These the leSses could not legally remove
and could not control in the whipping OF
convicts.
He held that it would monstrous
for the State to punish the lessees and for
felt their leases because of the acts of the
States agents. The Senator cOntended that
the Governor had no right to forfeit the

No or No. ) for the conduct of Bingham,
over whom they had no control. He
charged that the persons agitating this
question have proposed no change of syS-
tenn They want a new deal and the new
railroads want convicts.
B. r. Hill followed as counsel for Capt.
James, and occupied the time mainly in
arraignlng the testimony of DIR. Houck
Pending his argument the court adjourned
to afternoon, but the afternoon session was
abandoned The arguments will probably
be concluded Tuesday.

The Umpires Assault on Powell OF
Most Brutal Character.

CHARLESTON, S. c., Oct. Greatly TO

An investigation developed the fact that
they had paid their hotel bill after midnight

beaten by the umpire, is badly used up.
The assault appears u have been brutal.
Public sentiment here uphOlds the umpire to
the extent Of resenting PowelIs abuse, but
it now appears that he not only knocked HIM
down, but kicked him while on the ground.
The umpire Of Fridays game was no better
than other home unpires and probably no
worse, and the audience was thoroughly dis
gusted with the game. The club direc-
tors are doing all in their power
TO remedy the evil, but good
umpires are scarce here. Responsible
